Violent People Radio

Sometimes on VPR you get a completely clean episode. No swearing, completely brand safe, everyone locked in and focused, and no technical issues to speak of. It happens once in a generation. Heck, once since inception. And I think that is the case here.Spend your mug money here: https://www.idahogives.org/organizations/trans-affirm

WrestleMania weekend brings out the most in us. Is it the best? Unsure, but absolutely the most.There is a link to pay us in here https://linktr.ee/violentpeople

Every year we circle this event on the calendar. Sure, over the past few years you could say that the shine has worn off but we are still here. We are ball knowers and to not engage with the biggest event on the calendar, or at least what aligns with our sensibilities, would be in poor taste. Join us we break down all the upcoming action on Violent People Radio. This episode isn't for the non-super fans. 

Sam is out, so Chris, Dan, and Pat are joined by Parm Singh Man, Dusk Pro Promoter (@DUSK_ProWres) just in time to promote Dusk Pro: Field of Hopes and Dreams, taking place Thursday, April 17th at 2:00 PM in Las Vegas, as part of Mania Weekend. Outside of that its mostly talk of Big Show and dildos. Give it a listen.Don't buy a mug this week, buy tickets to Dusk Pro whether youre in town or just want to show your support. Its only $10! http://buytickets.at/duskpro 

There is no promoter quite like Court Bauer. A singular mind in professional wrestling history. Who else would bring in Eric Bischoff to create the Battle Riot? Besides singing the praises of Court, we talk about what we have been watching, a MOTYC, a true Style Battle between MMA vs. Pro Wrestling and much much more. Also, buy a mug https://violentpeople-shop.fourthwall.com/

We say this in no uncertain terms, the return of Haily Welch to the internet is meaningful.That is all we can say for now for legal reason. On this episode of VPR we play the World's Most Dangerous Game. We fantasy book. It isn't just fantasy booking though, it is fantasy booking using cruel twists and turns that Game Master Pat gives us. You must listen to hear all the traps that he sets. Also, buy a mug. 

Hell has frozen over. The story of Jon Kramer left unfinished. Decades of fandom down the drain. The world is an unfair and this is just another reminder.We must move on though and talk about wrestling. Unfortunately, I think the more episodes we do the less we understand our big tops. Time has not been kind to these brains of ours. All is well thought. 

We have a special episode this week as we have a special guest, J.J. McGee, the author of Fight Forever: The Ballad of Kevin and Sami. Yes, a real author of a real book was on the show. And they have a doctorate! Who would have thunk it. Chris is in the need of an MD so they are out and missed this week.She isn't here to shill, though; she's here to talk about wrestling (and maybe OUR FAVORITE MOVIE FRANCHISE?????). We talk real amounts of shop including about CHIKARA's edgy Canadian step-cousin.We thank her for being on, and if you don't buy the book I will curse you and your family for the rest of your days. BUY THE BOOK: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fight-forever-the-ballad-of-kevin-and-sami#/

Chris is on his death bed, Dan can't pay someone to fix his computer, Pat is moving on up in life, and Sam is hosting this week. A lot to dig into, like "Should dogs be able to buy hats". That and much much more on this episode of Violent People Radio.Oh, also vote in the VP100 you idiot https://violentpeople.co/vote-now-in-the-2024-vp100/

This week Chris is currently on a murder rampage, killing the evil bully at every dive bar across the country. To replace him this week we brought back friend of the show, Host of REGRESS, Cole. What do we talk about this episode? What don't we talk about! But above all else we are hating. Hating on wrestling and hating on dumb fans. Ain't that what it is all about?

This week Violent People brought the VP2010s to a close. And you would not be shocked at how disgusting the guys can get talking about numbers, people being canceled, and a love of lucha.Also, they watched quite a bit of wrestling. Lots of goofy stuff. We brought the Pain and will continue to do so until we are put to an end. We also ensure that we don't lose sight of our goal of being the #1 NBA podcast on planet Earth. Give us a 5 star review

It's 1am, I still have no working PC, Sam is gone, and I miss him. I edited this on an iPad. I pray it's listenable.Andy(ShrimpRIZZkit420) admirably stepped up to the plate as a guest host. We discuss WWECW. None seems to know why. I think it's a good time.Join the Discord

THE MARK MIND VIRUS HAS INFECTED VIOLENT PEOPLE RADIO!Pat is out this week, kidnapped by John "Jigsaw" Kramer (what a legend). We called in a ringer from across the pond, Padraig.  We talk about the hot NBA news the trade deadline has given us. Trades break on air, we break while recording this episode. As an aside to our newly found love of the NBA, we bring you the second-ever class of the Violent People Hall of Fame. A class to end all classes (maybe literally).PLUGS:Join the DiscordPadraig's TwitterHis Blog

Folks, it is late. I've been staring at this editing software wondering "how does this work". It isn't the question I want to be asking while I'm trying to put together an episode. It is the cost of fame. And make no mistake, being on VPR is a type of fame. Well, if you want to listen to this episode, you are going to be taught important things about life. Get under the Wisdom Tree. 

I don't know man. The world is so cruel. It is hard to understand how things are going to get better. Wrestling? Wrestling will always let you down. But there is something that will never let you down. Or at least, never let me down.YOU GUESSED IT JOHN KRAMER BABY, THE JIG DADDY HIMSELF! COME ON IN AND SIT YOUR BUTT DOWN TO HEAR OUR THOUGHTS ON SAW, OUR SAW THOUGHTS BBY!!!!!Follow Cole on social media: https://x.com/jusfolaughsgags

SPECIAL GUEST ALERT! Tim from Q&T Are is here this week to bring something the show usually lacks: Wrestling Talk. Importantly though we break down everything going on with Malakai Black. There is plenty to dig into and we put in an uncomfortable amount of research to make sure we did the topic justice.   I wish we could say we talked about Pat's GCW piece of the upcoming GCW show but we don't really have much time how much time we spent on Malakai Black. A topic worth discussing. FOLLOW: https://x.com/ROHDUTCH + https://x.com/qandtare*No idea why I, Sam, sound like I'm in a tunnel

Once again the hosts are selecting 5 wrestlers a piece, 20 total, and YOU will have the opportunity to vote on them. But that is for when you've listened to the show. When you've the names come out of our mouths (that you can not see). No free peaks.As always we answer your questions as terribly as possible.
